Video Card Problem??

peonrusher · Jun 21, 2004

I am running a PNY 5700 Ultra card and want to clone the desktop in open gl (games for making demos) mode.
I am using Pinnacle studio 9 and am trying to capture to a second computer via a s-video out on my primary machine to a pinnacle capture device.
The problem is, whenever i try capture the screen during games, i get a black screen. I capture desktop fine, as soon as games launch the screen goes black. Any work around for this, or am I stuck? I have a buddy who is accomplishing this fine with an ati 9800 pro card.

Pentium IV 2600
1 gig dual ddr 400
PNY 5700 Ultra

This is your card it does not handle this.. get more power.. go with what your buddy has, and you'll be fine.

Have you tried any other applications? FRAPS, available in our video section is worth a shot:

New ATI drivers were released recently, did you get these? Version 4.6:

Another thought (because this is a codec or driver problem) is latest motherboard drivers, often overlooked by many. Odds are you need the Intel ones:

Dont pay too much attention to IntelKlaz, he seems to want to offer his opinion, but lacks the knowledge. He will be gone shortly due to his uneducated responses. We are all dumber for reading his posts and for that I apologize to everyone. Pay attention, you can earn the IQ points back.
